To this day, you won’t catch me driving behind, or beside, a flatbed truck with logs on it.

‘Saw X’ became my 2nd favorite in the whole franchise.
Speaking of which, the whole ‘Saw’ franchise will be turning 20 this fall.

Happy to see Ouija: Origin of Evil on the list. It's very well done and that little girl is right up there with Regan from The Exorcist in terms of creep/scary factor imo.

Wes Craven’s ‘New Nightmare’ = My 2nd favorite Freddy Krueger movie!
😃

For those who say Aliens should have been on the list, sure Aliens is one of the greatest movie sequal of all time, but it wasn't scarier than the original as it was more action, this video specifically says "scarier" not "better".

When a Stranger Calls Back is one of my faves.

Final Destination II has everyone avoiding any logging trucks when driving on the highways!

When Dawn of the Dead came out, it played at the local drive-in with Kentucky Fried Movie. I can’t tell you how many times my friends and I went to see that dounle feature that summer.

I was wondering if Aliens would be on this list. But then again, I consider it to be more action than horror.

[dianamcmahon]

I didn't even realize that When A Stranger Calls had a sequel

[seangildersleeve]

Ouija: Origin of evil was so much better than the first.

[parttimefilm]

The Devil’s Rejects is still probably Zombie’s strongest work to date

[endoetz]

final destination 2 truck scene traumatized a whole generation 🤣

[Jeremiah_Rivers]

The traps in _Saw X_ would succeed in making me go ghost-white in fear.

[majiru]

Would Doctor Sleep count as a sequel? I found it really scary!

[Clara-phmy]

Hellraiser 2 :HellBound definitely just has that edge over Hellraiser.
Definitely Friday 13th Part 2 and Amityville 2: The Possession.
I will have to watch 'When a Stranger calls Back'

[snurfbee]

New Nightmare should be number one. Wes Craven knows what scares you and he made my skin crawl with this one.

[jonathanbarker]

I would put "The Exorcist 3 " as one the scariest sequels of all time .Since I when saw on home video in the early nineties, I never really realized how scary "The Exorcist movies " are .Since remember watching the first on Cinemax with my then girlfriend at the time .And it is one sweet movie to watch .Some this list are great as well .And the rebooted "Halloween 2 " directed by Rob Zombie is also a sweet sequel with lots of scares in it .

Amityville 2 YES!!!! One the most underrated horror movies of all time. 1000xs scarier than the original
